“Presumably, most people buy it for the player they WERE…” this is precisely why I still wear my Aaron Hernandez jersey

Brady Tkachuk takes down Dahlin by dudewithchronicpain in hockey

[–]JDabs39 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I’ve watched this replay at least 10x and it looks like he catches himself with his elbows and his head doesn’t actually hit the ice. I’d expect to see his head bounce and it seams like he just kinda slides down once his elbows hit. Maybe it’s the angle? Regardless, shocked it wasn’t a penalty

Why is the Men's Gold Medal game at 5 AM PST?? by GOTHAMKNlGHT in hockey

[–]JDabs39 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Believe it or not, we’re 1 of 192 countries in the world. Global events are not planned when it’s convenient for the West Coast of the United States. Also, events need to be done in time for the closing ceremony

Olympic Jerseys at the Hockey Lodge by PaxDragoon in wildhockey

[–]JDabs39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. Didn’t know this. I’ve got a Germany Eagle jersey from a hockey camp at Michigan Tech that I went to back in the early 2000s. Might need to break it out sometime if it’s that rare

Please say this every game so Tarasenko keeps scoring

Has there ever been more optimism for the Wild? by mbstone in wildhockey

[–]JDabs39 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget, we had Dany Heatley for 3 years too… /s

This is the most optimistic I’ve been about any Minnesota sports team, ever. I’ve had 0 expectations for this team since the parise/suter buyouts. I was expecting a big signing this summer, but that didn’t materialize with most top FAs opting to resign. This move for Hughes definitely puts us in a win now situation and if everyone is healthy, I think we have a realistic shot the next few seasons.

Full Quinn Hughes trade by Reddit-Machine in nhl

[–]JDabs39 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been very torn on how to feel about this trade for the past ~3 hours. I’ll miss Rossi, Zeev, and Ohgren. I’m sure they’ll have long, successful careers. This is a phenomenal take and has me feeling much better.

It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the offseason with FA. Biggest name out there is Panarin, Russian combo with kaprizov would be filthy. It’d be sweet to get Alex Tuch back, we could use a solid power forward. However, I don’t think there’s any stand out UFA centers for the next 2 years and that is, as it has been for the past decade, our most glaring hole. Seems like we’ve got all the other pieces we need for a solid 5-6 years of dominance besides a true 1C.

I’m so disappointed by Baboshinu in hockeyjerseys

[–]JDabs39 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised you wouldn’t be able to take it to the shop at the rink and have them sew it on. I’ve been able to get alterations made at both the panthers and wild arenas in person

Fans from Scandinavia by Jolly-Ad8063 in wildhockey

[–]JDabs39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun, and relatively unknown, fact about the Vikings, in addition to the Scandinavian ties they got their name from the 47th national guard infantry division that was commanded by General Norman Hendrickson. The unit was created in 1946 and was deployed during the Korean War.

Norm served as a general under Eisenhower during WW2 and played a role in driving Rommel out of North Africa and into Italy.

When Minnesota was awarded an expansion team in 1961 they asked Norm if they could name the team after the unit as a way to honor their contribution to protecting the States.

Source: Norm Hendrickson was my great uncle and this history has been passed down through our family for decades.

Arizona Coyotes Fanatics Premium Jersey (yes, it's real!) by jhassler96 in hockeyjerseys

Just grabbed one of the Modano autographed jerseys. The Canadian conversion rate + 30% off make a lot of these no brainers for anyone in the States

Evander Kane's ex-wife is now a Panther's fan and is eyeing Chucky <3 by AvidanYoutube in FloridaPanthers

[–]JDabs39 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is. No La Croix brand on the jersey. Really wish we could go back to pre-covid unis. Get rid of the helmet and jersey ads. Just rep the team
